I played a PvZ against a zerg who was one win away from D+. It felt like a pretty close game, despite the fact that my first push almost broke him- he managed to completely destroy my second push (in retrospect it was because I built way too many dragoons). He made a few errors in judgment one was not being nearly aggressive enough with his mutas. The second was attacking my natural instead of my second expansion... he probably could have killed it.

So at this point he was a bit behind, despite my second attack faltering. He decided to doom drop. Moments before his ovies cross over an island base, I see a blob of yellow seemingly appear on the screen. I move my 4 or so sairs to where I thought I saw the ovies appear. Nothing is there...

About 10-20 seconds later his ovies plow into my sairs and with a little micro, all but 2-3 die before dropping anything. So apparently I'm either seeing things or I had a bit of premonition. I never even build sairs unless the zerg goes muta...

Here's the replay for anyone who cares to watch.

I thought one of the main points of getting a Corsair was that you can tell whether your opponent is going Mutas or Hydra/Lurker (or something else, but that's all I ever see at D level)? And then of course get several more if he goes Muta. I do suck though, so please correct me if I'm absolutely wrong.

About to watch...

By "not going corsairs" I mean, I usually get a single sair to scout and then if he isn't building muta don't continue to build them. :p
